# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 03:27:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 86/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Hyperliquid ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.94.86 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["audrey.ns.cloudflare.com", "augustus.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Hyperliquid | Next-Gen Cryptocurrency Exchange | Secure, Fast & Zero-Fee Trading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f650c99e0df331ec0ecaf976177a468419585c69679970753f9f4e07319b5446 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 12:14:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 09:44:28 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 01:19:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:17:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf4f-d86e-767b-a015-6c8f7d9def21/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d5e0e13e-8ab7-4e3c-9fb7-828b68b99861 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 12:15:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com as an active brand impersonation scam targeting Hyperliquid users. This domain was flagged for impersonating the legitimate Hyperliquid platform, a trusted name in decentralized finance (DeFi) and cryptocurrency trading. The threat involves deceptive tactics to trick users into connecting wallets or entering credentials, risking fund theft via crypto drainer mechanisms. Given the domain's recent creation and association with fraudulent branding, immediate action is required to prevent user exposure. This domain exhibits multiple red flags consistent with malicious intent. Registered on May 30, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, it resolves to IP address 104.21.94.86. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 out of 95 security engines detected malicious content at the time of assessment. The domain holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may be leveraged to appear legitimate. Despite the lack of detections, the absence of a connection to Hyperliquid's official infrastructure and the inclusion of terms like 'hyip' (a common scam indicator) strongly suggest fraudulent activity. No verified trust scores or blocklist entries were found for this domain as of the latest scan. To mitigate risks, users should avoid accessing hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com entirely. Hyperliquid users are advised to verify website URLs through official channels, such as the Hyperliquid Twitter account or verified Discord server, before engaging. Additionally, enable wallet address verification features and revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals using tools like revoke.cash. Website administrators should consider reporting this domain to hosting providers, domain registrars, and blocklist services like Google Safe Browsing or PhishTank to prevent further propagation. Always use bookmarked links for official platforms to avoid typosquatting traps. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-A91115 Favicon MD5: 6307a331e8bd279a4afed5e2faf767d2 TLS cert SHA-256: f650c99e0df331ec0ecaf976177a468419585c69679970753f9f4e07319b5446 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hyperliquid-hyper-liquid-hyip.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
